DescriptionQuit-claim deed in which Michael H. and Cornelius H. Vreeland of "Achqueghenonck," transfer a land title to Michael D. and Elizabeth Vreeland, of Hackensack. The first location, at that time part of Essex County, is now Clifton, Passaic, and Paterson. The Vreelands, tracing their New Amsterdam roots to 1638, were a prominent family in New Jersey history. While the exact identity of the parties and location of the property is difficult to determine, it is interesting to note that cash part of the transaction is in shillings, and that the "small lot number 4" consists of 313 acres of woodlands, indicating the still rural character of northeast New Jersey in the early years of the Republic.
